Rosalind Iden was born in Manchester in 1911, the daughter of Ben Iden Payne. She studied at the Margaret Morris School of Dancing, appeared in ballet for a number of years, and made her début as a Shakespearian actress as Ophelia in Donald Wolfit's production of Hamlet during his first London season at the Kingsway Theatre in February 1940, when this portrait was painted.
